The Canadian government supports the development of technology, particularly satellite technology. The Canadian and Quebec‑based company GHGSat now has an agreement with the European Space Agency for methane and carbon dioxide detection. This technology is the only one in the world that can detect methane emissions on site.
In addition to our traditional methods for compiling methane emissions data, we'll have access to satellite data, a brand new item in our methane tool kit.
Indeed, methane emissions are a global concern. These emissions are often short‑lived and sometimes difficult to measure.
